Figures you'd rather have someone walk all over you than have someone that will stand up to the bullies.

I was talking legislation. None at all is better than some bad.

As for Iraq, you guys still don't get it. Going and playing in the sand thousands of miles away isn't in the same ballpark as protecting us at home.

I stated twice that I don't regularly criticize grammar because I, myself, am the biggest abuser. I don't believe propper grammar/punctuation/spelling is as important as the message.

I don't capitalize christ or god on purpose as I don't believe in their 'divinity'. Therefore, they don't deserve special capitalization from me.

Thats the general party platform, if you consider Dems to be 'liberal'.

Liberals/Dems - big government in fiscal areas, small government in social areas
Cons/Reps - small government in fiscal areas, big government in social areas
Libertarians - small government in both fiscal and social areas

No, but it does add credibility to the messenger.

Whether or not you believe in their 'divinity' ( ), they are proper names or titles and are supposed to be capitalized.

Bumbles - I love your inconsistency. You don't have any issues stating "Get over it you lost", but didn't take your own advice elsewhere on these boards on previous threads (ie. Gore vs Bush, Kerry vs. Bush, etc). It's okay, we know you somehow justify this in your head - just make sure to take that medication!
